Application of AI Techniques in Three-phase Shunt Active Power Filter in Unbalanced and Distorted Supply Conditions

Abstract

This paper deals with a new improved model of the shunt active power filter having the control scheme using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) technique in unbalanced and distorted supply system. In this paper, three soft computing techniques viz; Genetic algorithm, Fuzz logic, neural network are used.  The simulation results using MATLAB model confirm that combination of these algorithms together create an optimum system, which clearly proves the effectiveness of the proposed control method in unbalanced and distorted supply system.
